We have a friend that breeds ragdoll kittens and sells them. Which is great, I mean she's responsible and her cats and dogs and hedgehogs are all very happy. I know because we got one of her kittens and I was amazed. All I've ever had in my life are rescue cats and kittens of no particular breed, alley cats, some would call them. They always been great cats, loved them all. But when we got this little ragdoll kitten, it was different. So little, so fragile, so sweet and she didn't get upset when our current two dogs and our older cat did NOT like her at all. She took it all in stride and she was getting used to living with us when the worst thing happened. Our precious baby passed away. It was so sudden. I don't even think it was anything we did, sometimes these things happen but I felt so guilty. She was so little and precious. I wish I had gotten to know her better. Someday I want another kitten. But it is too soon. Have you ever had such a terrible thing happen? It is devastating. We are all very sad.

All Pure-breeds have specific medical issues @horsesrule . Whereas a normal life-span for a Ragdoll is 15-20 years, health issues like heart disease, bladder stones and infectious peritonitis can be present. I'm so sorry you lost your little baby.

Thank you. I wish it hadn't happened. It shook our confidence in taking care of our animals. It's the dreaded "what if's"

@horsesrule I know what you mean and exactly how you feel. Just since December, I've lost 4 of my babies.

Thank you. It was quite a shock since she was a baby. The only time our animals pass away is when they are very old (or that's been our experience up to this point when Bubbles passed away). This is picture of Bubbles. The other picture is a litter mate

I agree. Maybe it wasn't our time to have a kitten yet.

She is now in the safe hand of the Most Loving Father in the world. Don`t be saddened. Your precious baby passed away for a reason.
